I’m a trainer and educator for Dancing Goats Coffee. I’ve been in specialty coffee for almost 8 years. I love creating fun, new drinks for our cafes and pouring latte art.
Cocktail Inspiration
My cocktail is inspired by our sun-dried Costa Rica La Minita. It's my favorite of our coffees with notes of orange zest and maple. This drink is bright and refreshing like the summer sun.
